About

My name is Lillias. I am an illustrator, printmaker, graphic designer and musician living in Glasgow.

My earliest memory is opening the art cupboard and creating a colourful mess: my masterpiece! Happily - 20 years later I still find myself surrounded in paper, paint and pens in my home studio in Glasgow.

After a degree in music I went on to study at postgraduate level at London School of the Arts (LCC) where I received a 1st in Design for Visual Communication.. In 2013 I spent a month cycling in Cuba visiting screen printing studios. I love the process of screen printing and find its constraints liberating. In 2015 I cycled the south of India which was the inspiration behind the series of prints influenced by Indian folk literature and the ‘Jataka tales’.Our newest family member - my son - has moved my creative time to the wee small hours but his vibrant character and child's view on the world feeds a hungry creative mind!

Colour, Scotland, travel, cycling, the great outdoors, raw cakes, delicious food, and childish pursuits... some interests which find their way into my work.
